The media could not be loaded. I was searching for a Sous Vide equipment to try, and this is the first sous vide multi-cooker I found on the market. From my observations, I think the probe under the lid helps to monitor and control the temperature of the water during Sous Vide mode. It has worked amazingly when I cooked two ribeyes last week. Though I was not planning on using the product very often, I find myself a huge fan of the slowcooking and steam rice functions as well. I will be keeping this appliance on my kitchen counter for everyday use!

I bought this Zing Sous Vide machine because I wanted a sous vide machine, what I got was so much more. I love the fact that it is also a slow cooker and it lets me sauté and then simmer or boil in the same pan. I live in a tiny house that does not have a lot of room for counter top appliances, but at a dimension of 12" X 12", this machine gives me a way to replace my bulky crockpot and has so many options that I have yet to explore. I bought additional silicone molds to make sous vide egg bites and I am so pleased with that feature. I can't wait to start my fall stew and soup recipes in this machine!

I am very new to Sous Vide style of cooking. My daughter loves Starbucks Eggbites. I told her that I wouldn't buy her those more than once a month since they are very costly. But instead, I was determined to cook those myself. So I bought this cooker. I followed the recipe guide as said... and my daughter just gobbles them up! Although they don't quite taste like Starbucks, still it gave a benevolent gateway into Sous Vide cooking!

I have tried the sous vide sticks and found them to be a bit noisy and awkward and they take up so much room for storage so when I saw this multi cooker and it had a sous vide function I got excited.
I ordered it and it arrived in great condition.
It was easy to set up and use.
I mostly purchased this for the sous vide function and have not tried to use it for anything else yet so I may need to edit review in future after trying different functions.
The first thing I tried was left over prime rib roast.
When I first roasted the prime rib I cooked it in the oven and it was a choice cut so was pretty tough so I thought reheating it in the cooker would be a good challenge for it and it did a great job making a tough cut very tender.
Next I tried a fresh eye of round roast to use for thin slices for sandwiches. It was just a little over one pound in size, around 2 inches thick.
I put it in the bath at 131 degrees F for 24 hours to have it come out medium rare.
I have loaded a picture of the finished roast.
I could not wait til it cooled down to try it and I was so excited. It was a perfect medium rare and so tender it melted in my mouth. It was still firm enough to slice. It is now wrapped up and in the fridge for nice roast beef sandwiches.
There were just a couple issues with the machine itself.
1. The lid has a tendency to fall back down when opening unless you push it back firmly.
It might be an issue when using the sauté function where you need the lid open.
2. The temperature is off by about 1 degree. I had it set at 131 F but when I noticed it got to temp it would hover around 130 - 130.7 so it would be best to set temp one degree higher than desired doneness.
Overall I am extremely pleased with this cooker and the sous vide function.
As mentioned above I will edit when I have tried other functions.
